When I helped negotiate and pass the bipartisan infrastructure law, investments like this were a top priority, and I will keep working to deliver resources to protect public health and support our economy.\u201d\n\n\u201cEvery Granite Stater needs reliable access to clean water,\u201d said Congresswoman Goodlander. \u201cThis federal investment will make life better for hardworking people across New Hampshire, and I\u2019ll never stop fighting to deliver every penny promised to our state.\u201d\n\nThe New Hampshire Congressional delegation has championed work to ensure every Granite Stater has access to clean, safe drinking water, no matter where they live.
